Hey, -lazs- that's a good point! Forcing guys to fly the p-39 would wise them up real quick. I might make that a squadron order some day (that'll be real popular).
Okay, this is where I come out and sound like a jerk.
I know you don't like me. When I fly the right way, I won't engage with a mere 5k alt advantage. Simply not enough E advantage, unless I'm hot, for my form of attack.
But, don't worry. I've been away from AH for awhile. Come kill me when I get back on and I'm flying like a dweeb.
I'll get even, I promise.
Jerkism off.
On the stick thing I've never had any luck with any stick. CH used to last for a long time, but my most recent sticks become trash way too fast. I tried TM. None of their stuff lasted long enough to get to know, and the really expensive stuff didn't work right. CH has always worked for me, it just doesn't last. I tried Saitek. Their early stuff too, which made me give up on them. I've heard their new stuff is better and I can tell you they have the better approach. If I can find a Saitek setup that won't break (that's what happened, it was a physical limitation) I'll own one forever. I always hated TM too much to buy more then the first three that I did.
When I checked out Microsoft's Sidewinder junk I decided Microsoft was better off in software.
Why can't any of these guys build a spun titanium grip on a mil-spec gimbal and outfit it with mil-spec pots, switches that won't gum up, and state of the art circuits? I hate spending $300 every six months to a year. Make something priced in the $500-1k range that will last, and then discount the crap out of it! I'm a poor man and I can't take these constant refits.
